I admit, I am one of those witches who always forgets to write in my dream journal while the dreams are fresh in my mind. I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I forget to note it all down until later. But, I'm trying to get better.
I actually lately have been attempting some real work with dreams lately. I've been trying, with various degrees of success, to find solutions to problems, to foster a stronger connection with my spirit guides, to contact some deeply missed family members from beyond the veil, and to do some dream banishing work.
The problem solving seems to be working. I try to fall asleep while imagining perfect solutions to whatever problem I'm working on at the time. The next day, I never remember dreaming about the problem but a workable solution usually comes to me. So, either I solved the problem in my dream and my subconscious remembered or my guides give me a solution during the day. Either way, I'm given a workable solution to almost any problem within a day or two.
The stronger connection with my guides, also working, though not the way I would like. Gee, how is it that my spirit guides are not doing things my way?? LOL My connection with them is steadily growing stronger but I still don't have any real knowledge of them and of the kind of energy they represent. I'm receiving their messages more and more clearly, but I would love to just know more about them. Oh, well, I"m sure that will happen when they feel I am ready.
Contacting family members, I haven't had any success yet. I still know that they are near me, I still feel them, I just can't yet communicate with them. Again, I am sure that I will be able to when it is meant to happen.
The dream banishing work, now that I've been impressed with. I've only been trying to banish small things about myself that I know I need to change. One example is I have a bad habit of setting the alarm so I get up in time to do some housework before going to work. The alarm goes off and I get up and reset it for the last possible minute.
What I did for several days (I work mainly overnites and sleep afternoons) was I went to sleep and as I was going under I imagined myself jumping up at the alarm and actually doing my housework, paperwork, whatever I wanted to get done that evening. Within the first 2 days, I found myself, getting up,resetting the alarm, laying back down and being overwhelmed with restlessness. I wasn't able to go back to sleep, I had to get up.
Since I was up, I just went ahead and did the chores I wanted to get done. Within a week, there is no longer any real desire to reset the alarm most of the time. Sometimes I do still feel an overwhelming need to but those are usually days I am very exhausted, so I just go back to bed and get the extra sleep. My job schedule is mainly overnites but on weekends, I work in the afternoon one day and early evening one day so I get very little if any sleep those days. Usually it is Monday or Tuesday when I find myself truly needing the extra sleep, so it all makes sense.
Currently, I'm hoping to use dreamwork to motivate myself to exercise regularly. I would love to get into a daily routine of weights, Pilates, Yoga, and Tai Chi. Doing a varied combination of these each day is my goal and this weeks dreamwork project.
I'm hoping if I continue to achieve success with small things in my dreamwork for myself, that I will eventually be able to use it to expand my spiritual growth in ways I haven't thought of yet.
Blessed Be!
